The Battle of Midway and the Fight for Freedom in Our Time

“It’s better to fight for something than to live for nothing,” said the greatest general of World War II, George Patton. It is a quote that could also serve as a tribute to the U.S. airmen and sailors who fought and died at the historic and pivotal Battle of Midway, which ended on this day (June 7) in 1942.

Most Americans in the present have lost the spirit that animated the soldiers of WWII, the spirit Patton captured in his quote. Most Americans now would much rather give up everything, even their most fundamental rights and liberties, rather than become a target of their bosses, their friends, their politicians—we saw that only too clearly during the Covid plandemic. On the other hand, Americans are increasingly waking up to the danger posed by Marxists who are perilously close to destroying America and squandering the heritage for which the WWII generation, often called the “Greatest Generation,” died. We must take up the task for which the Americans at the Battle of Midway fought, we must vow that their sacrifice shall not be in vain.
